Not to be outdone he is now optimistic about the future prospects of the really promising filly Hammie's Hooker who looks to be on the road to glory. Dan is quick to sing the praises of trainer Mike Bass and his team and also to owner Marsh Shirtliff who has done his homework and looked for the gems from Zandvliet. Dan is a progressive breeder but, at the same time, does not interfere with the way nature intended things to be.

What is your star sign and birthdate? 27 August 1953, which makes me a Virgo. Where were you born? Montagu Hospital in the Cape. Where do you live?
